Advised bets

No advised bet on this fixture. The available prices are close enough to our own numbers that there is nothing worth backing. Most fixtures end up here, and manufacturing a selection for every game is exactly how tipster records get destroyed.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Instituto Cordoba favoured against Newells Old Boys

Our model makes Instituto Cordoba 50% to win this Liga Profesional Argentina fixture, with the draw at 28% and Newells Old Boys at 22%. The goal projection is 1.44 for Instituto Cordoba against 0.87 for Newells Old Boys — a substantial edge to Instituto Cordoba on expected output. A combined 2.32 goals points to a cagey game with few clear chances, which puts over 2.5 at 41% and both teams to score at 45%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-0 at 14%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. This sits in the awkward middle of the distribution, where the model has a view but not a strong one. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.

Most likely scores: 1-0 14%; 1-1 13%; 0-0 10%; 2-0 10%; 2-1 9%
